With iOS 8.2 beta 5 download having emerged earlier this week, we suspected that the final release could be upon us really soon, and now, a new report has indicated that it could be released to the end user in March.

However, a report published recently by BGR indicates that
Apple may be aiming to launch the new software for its iPhones a little
bit ahead of the incoming wearable. The report stipulates that Apple
will actually launch iOS 8.2 sometime in March, which means it could
come as early as a whole month before the Watch officially goes up for
sale.

A launch of iOS 8.2 in March actually makes quite a bit of sense, considering how many iPhones are out there in the wild right now. As Apple has seen first-hand in the past, not every software upgrade goes without a hitch, and for the software that’s going to pair the iPhone with the Watch, iOS 8.2 is some of the most important software that Apple has launched to date. Staggering the launch of the software and the hardware means that if there are issues, Apple can address them accordingly.

Stay tuned to our coverage here for more iOS and Apple Watch-related
reports as they hit the blogosphere. Meanwhile, do drop your thoughts
